+## Shaderc
+
+*(added 0.51.0)*
+
+Shaderc currently does not ship with any means of detection. Nevertheless, Meson
+can try to detect it using `pkg-config`, but will default to looking for the
+appropriate library manually. If the `static` keyword argument is `true`,
+`shaderc_combined` is preferred. Otherwise, `shaderc_shared` is preferred. Note
+that it is not possible to obtain the shaderc version using this method.
+
+`method` may be `auto`, `pkg-config` or `system`.
+
